Participants joined us for the Fall 2025 Sustainability in Business Conference: Driving Change Through Bold Leadership, where we explored how visionary leaders are reimagining the role of business in addressing today’s most pressing social and environmental challenges. This half-day event brought together industry impact leaders, students, faculty and mission-driven organizations to engage in meaningful conversations about the state of sustainability and how we can move from ambition to action.
Conversations focused on issues surrounding three main areas:
- Food in Sustainability
- Impact Investing & Sustainable Finance
- Fashion in Sustainability
